Arron/Yay the side of said tank opposite the spout 22, to the rear and along tie back of said tank, through a chamber 25, in the side wall of said chamber S, where a` cut ofi` 26, is placed, to the source of supply.

Behind the garbage chamber and well toward the top thereof, is located the smokeburning or secondary tire-chamber 27, har ing a tire door 28, and an ash door 29. This chamber is provided with a 'fire `Orate 30, resting on lugs or brackets 31, projecting from the two side walls, and its ash-pit 32, opens throughout its entire extent into the air chamber hereinafter more fully described; while near its top, through the rear Wall, is an opening 33, communicating with the smoke-'flue 34, which is placed at the rear of all and connects with the main stack. Upon the outer surface of the side walls of said chamber 8, at point opposite'the arch of said cham ber are placed the retaining plates and upon the outer surface of the side walls of the ring-chamber 1, near the top thereof, and opposite the arch of said chamber, are placed the retaining plates 36.

Upon the outer corners of the outer walls of said furnace are secured the angle irons 37, which arc provided with the lugs .'58, through which are passed and secured the ends of the:

buck-stays 39, which in connection with the anglo irons are designed to firmly brace and secure the side and end walls of the furn nace; and said walls are further strengthened and secured by the vertical braces 40, which have their lower ends secured in the. ground,

and their upper ends secured by transverse stay-bolts extending from side to side of said furnace. Said braces also bear against and securely retain in place the retaining plates 35, and 3G.

For cooling and preserving thc outer walls of said furnace from cracking l provide an air chamber 41, contained within the walls of said furnace and which extends from the level of the firing-grate to the level of the ash-pit of the smoke burninggrate 30, and which comniunicatcs with the air chamber 42, which is formed between the front wall 5, and the front plate 2, and communicating' at the rear with the air-chamber 43, which connects with the ash-pit 32. rlhe outer sides of the furnace are pierced at intervals upon the lower level of said air-chamber by die oriiices 44, which connect said chamber with the outer air, and when taken in connection with the opei'iing into the ash-pit 32, forms and provides a draft or circulation of air between the inner and outer walls of said furnace where the greatest heat is maintained. i

The top of the chamber 8, is provided with a iiooring 45, and at a suitable distance above said flooring is secured the track 46, to any suitable support, such as the roof, rafters, etc. Upon said track 46, is sliclably mount- I ed the hanger 47, which is provided With the swivel 48, to which is pivoted the lever 49, nearer one of its ends than the, other while to its shorter end is secured one end of the rod 50; while to the other end of said rod 5U, is fastened the cap or cover 12, and to thel longer end of the lever 49, is secured the rod 51, which terminates in the hand ring 52.

The operation of my device as a whole is as follows The cover 12, having been raised clear of the charging opening or doorway by the lever 49, and theI hand-rod 51, and carried by the hanger and track out of the Way, the garbage is dumped into the chamber 8, the cover 12, returned to its place, and a fire built in the smoke-burning chamber 27. A fire is now started in the main firing-chamber 1, the smoke from same passing through the garbage chamber S, and together with the vapor from said garbage is consumed by the fire in the chamber 27. When the fires are well under way and the garbage has been drained into the evaporating pan and parti dried by the heat, the operator rakes throng the Stoke-door 14, the garbage upon the fire in the chamber 1, thus using said garbage as fuel and consuming it, while the liquid drained from said garbage is retained in the pan 21, and evaporated by the heat in said furnace. The hre from the main firingchamber 1, on passing through the garbage chamber 8, will convey all gases, ctc. to the chamber 27, where they will be consumed, thus destroying all odors, vapors, etc."' After the chambers have been tl'ioroughly heated the iire in the chamber 27, can be let out as the heat of the other chambers will consume all gases before they enter the smoke flue. To clean out the evaporating pan the plate 23, is removed, the Water turned on by the cut oil' in the chamber 25, and said pan flushed out.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:--

1. In a garbage crematory of the class described, comprising firing, garbage and smoke-consuming chambers, the front, end and side walls of said crcmatory )rovided with air spaces, ducts piercing t e outer walls and communicating with said air spaces, said air spaces communica-ting at the rear of said crematory with the smoke Hue and at the front of said crematory with the ash-pit of thc tiring chamber.
